The National Monuments Service's description
Two-storey house (dims. 12.7m E-W; 7.55m N-S) attached to the site of St Stephen's church (WA009-005026-) which may have functioned as a hospital (WA009-005035-). The house survives almost complete, except the secondary brick apex of the gables (H of walls 3.75m), and it has been re-roofed. A segmental-arched doorway with a twin-light and a three-light window are in the S wall. The E gable has a three-light window, and a large fireplace with chamfered edges is in the N wall. All the punch-dressed stone is limestone and both the doorway and the fireplace bear the date 1632 in false relief. (Bradley et al. 1989, vol. 2, 165-6)
